Abstract
Saponins, the major bioactive components of Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., are gradually emerging as research hotspots owing to the possession of various pharmacological activities. This review updates the ginsenosides list from P. ginseng and the steam-processed ginseng (red ginseng and black ginseng) up to 271 by June of 2024, encompassing 243 saponins from different parts of P. ginseng (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, berries, and seeds), 103 from red ginseng, and 65 from black ginseng, respectively. Among 271 saponins, there are a total of 249 (1–249) dammarane type (with a–z subtypes) tetracyclic triterpene saponins reported from each part of P. ginseng and steam-processed ginseng, two (250–251) lanostane type tetracyclic triterpene saponins identified from red ginseng, 18 (252–269) oleanane type pentacyclic triterpenoid saponins discovered from each part of P. ginseng and steam-processed ginseng, and two (270–271) ursane type pentacyclic triterpenoid saponins reported from red ginseng. Overall, this review expounds on the chemical diversity of ginsenosides in various aspects, such as chemical structure, spatial distribution and subtype comparison, processed products, and transformation. This facilitates more in-depth research on ginsenosides and contributes to the future development of ginseng.
期刊介绍:
Chinese Herbal Medicines is intended to disseminate the latest developments and research progress in traditional and herbal medical sciences to researchers, practitioners, academics and administrators worldwide in the field of traditional and herbal medicines. The journal's international coverage ensures that research and progress from all regions of the world are widely included.
CHM is a core journal of Chinese science and technology. The journal entered into the ESCI database in 2017, and then was included in PMC, Scopus and other important international search systems. In 2019, CHM was successfully selected for the “China Science and Technology Journal Excellence Action Plan” project, which has markedly improved its international influence and industry popularity. CHM obtained the first impact factor of 3.8 in Journal Citation Reports (JCR) in 2023.
